Front end work

[R1Kirby]

Does anyone know where in the world you can get a Class C Motorhome front end alignment done? I've been to Camping World and they don't do them, even though they sell motorhomes. I have been to several other RV Dealers only to hear the same. Most tire places like goodyear, firestone don't do them. The dealerships that sell trucks with duals do not do them. So what to do.. Anyone else had the same problem?

Where are you located? Somebody can probably recommend one in your area.

RV dealers generally do not do alignments - few do any chassis work at all. Since it's a Class C, the dealer for the chassis (Ford?) is probably one choice. Serious alignment shops will do them - usually those equipped for big trucks are the best choice.

I have all of my work done on my class C at the local service center for U-Haul trucks. They do it all except for the RV-side of things.

I suggest you call the local school district (or the busing company that has their contract) and ask them where they have the buses aligned.

The shop where I have my motorhome aligned always has school buses and large straight trucks in the parking lot.

For the best results your unit should be loaded like it is when you travel when you take it in for alignment

Hi R1Kirby,
In addition to what has been suggested, try a local Michelin truck tire store. In my area, the Michelin truck tire store does this work on all size coaches.

I live in the Colorado boondocks and worried when my alignment shop, 35 miles away, closed shop. I found another 55 miles away. Both did great jobs.

I found them by calling UPS and asking who did their alignment. It turned out both shops also did the Fed-X trucks.

Good luck.

I haven't had my class c done yet, but I used a GCR Tire center when I had the previous class A with the P32 chassis.
They should be able to help you

A friend in California just had the front end done on his Winnie 31C, and the Ford Dealer did it. He spend quite a bit of money, but he said that it drives better than his car now.

He brought it in for new shocks...well, actually a noise, that turned out to be a lose shock....and they did the alignment, and made adjustments to the Camber and Toe In...which the Service Mgr. said that Ford that Ford makes the chassis without knowing what they will be going into....truck or Camper...so they set the front end for the worst case (truck), and they can adjust that to be much better riding.

Any way, check out Ford Dealers...in our area, there are two (one for cars and small trucks...the other for larger truck repairs)..

Good Luck

Not knowing where you are located, I am going to suggest "Wabash Garage" just west of Celina Ohio on highway 29. I just went through the same thing on my new "C". They were happy to take it and did a fine job. Nice people. They specialize in heavy trucks. Check out rvservicerepair.com
